Hi
I am new to the idea of running microsoft access 2000 databases on a pda. Palm or Windows? I currently have a ~10 meg access file (includes both front end and back end files) that I would like to import/export to a handheld. I am not sure if I need the capability of editing the database on the handheld. I know at this moment I do need to be able to read the data while I am in the field. I know I can update/snyc the pda on a regular basis from the desktop.
Can anyone suggest a pda, how enough memory and what software/os to use. I need to be able to read my reports on the pda screen. Or do I need to create new reports for the pda? Will the new software allow me to create the reports?
I have seen software online but did not feel comfortable with what I was seeing.
I have tried Frys, and Compusa only to be told "I don't know, you can buy this and this and try this."
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
